Robert Pattinson Talks Cosmopolis with Cinemania
Cast Interview Robert PattinsonMexican magazine Cinemania has just hit newstands with a new interview with Robert Pattinson in which he discusses getting the part of Eric Packer in Cosmopolis and his impressions of director, David Cronenberg.
Q: We thought you were done filming Cosmopolis?
Rob: Yes, but I’m keeping the hair(laughs).
Q: Why are you wearing your hair like that in the movie?
Rob: I can’t explain it. It’s such a strange story. Luckily people will find it interesting.
Q: That didn’t stop you from getting Cosmopolis.
Rob: It was amazing. I let my spiral of paranoia go out of control and I thought all the good directors would want nothing to do with me now. And then Cronenberg makes this offer directly to me. I had neve even met him before.. I had a great time during filming, and I kept saying “Am I good enough? I don’t know what I’m doing,” and he said “why do you think like that? You are an actor,” and the only reason that happened to me it’s because I became this sort of celebrity, and I’m worried that people won’t take me seriously.
Q: What did Cronenberg see in you that he chose to cast you?
Rob: Nothing. Just interviews. And he saw Remember Me. But this character looks like nothing I’ve ever done before.. When I first read the script, I thought I couldn’t play the character. I loved the script, but I was afraid. I said I called him in a week to find out if I wanted the part or not. I spent an entire week thinking how to say no. The only thing I thought was “Look, I can’t do this because I’m a coward and I don’t know how to play it (laughs really loudly). So I said yes, and told him I didn’t know what the story was about. He said he didn’t know either. So we started collaborating from that point on. I had never worked with a filmmaker that had so much confidence in himself. He just said everyday “let’s see what happens,” there were no rehearsals, nothing. It was insane.
